00:00Today we're going shopping for accent chairs. I'm your design lab stylist Io Casti,
00:03so let's go to three different stores with three different budgets, all for the accent chair.
00:10First up, our budget option, typically between 300 to 600 pounds. I picked the Swivel Accent
00:16Chair from Zara Home. The iron base and velvet finish make it feel way more expensive than it
00:20really is. What I love most is the silhouette. It gives you that design-led look without a
00:25designer price tag. I would style this with a slim floor lamp, a small round side table,
00:29and a textured cushion to create a layered intentional corner. We are at our second
00:33stop where the mid-range is between 800 to 1k. I chose the Dumbling Chair from Loaf and you can
00:39instantly feel the difference. The fabric is richer, the frame feels more substantial,
00:44and the proportions are softer and sculpted. This is a sweet spot for so many clients,
00:50it's like an upgrade without maxing out your card, hopefully. And now our investment piece,
00:54starting at around 1.5k and easily going up to 3k. So if we're really going all in, this is
01:00the
01:00Mila Armchair from Soho Home. A true statement piece in Olive that instantly becomes a conversation
01:05starter in any room. Here you're paying for craftsmanship, the weight, the joinery, the finish,
01:11everything feels intentional and built to last. This isn't just a chair, it's a piece you keep for
01:16years, the one that moves houses with you and that also swivels. So how much should you spend? It's less
01:21about the price and more about your taste, your intention and how long you want it to last.
01:26And if you need help finding the perfect accenture, that's what we do at Design Lab and we do it
01:30for
